I may be a nobody, but I like the CHP. Like all law enforcement officers, they have an incredibly hard and stressful job. The roads are chaotic enough. I cannot imagine what it would be like without their presence. For me its simple. Drive safely and don't be that guy sticking out like a sore thumb and you'll never see the flashing lights come on behind you. The one time I did get a speeding ticket, there was no doubt I deserved it. Lesson learned. |

But agreed. I've been pulled over twice on the freeway on the crotch rocket and both times it was - "matched a description of someone who's run on me before." Always translated that into "we were hoping for some excitement and you would take off." Wasn't doing anything wrong, wasn't speeding etc. I will say when I first moved to CA, it was a highway patrol on a bike that motioned for me to follow him splitting the carpool double yellows - I didn't know it was legal until he motioned. I looked it up afterwards lol. |

Sometimes I question how some of them actually passed the psych evaluation but that's an entirely different story. |

My knowledge of obscure traffic laws, DUI enforcement, etc. helps a ton. Deputies hate traffic enforcement. |

Here's a question. How bad do you have to fuck up to get assigned to a reflector vest and standing out on the street directing traffic?
Are we talking "desk pop" level fucked up or worse? Lol |

Nobody who is sworn does that in California really. That seems to be a thing in other states like New York. I keep a reflector vest in my patrol car that I use primarily during DUI checkpoints. An Officer/Deputy would be stupid not to use it at night.

Always wondered though how badly you need to be in the doghouse to get assigned that lol. Like the cop version of a "time out corner". |

When I was a rookie if you were in shit they'd make you walk the post in the shitty'ist part of your division. The hook would come by and roll the window down about an inch in the freezing weather and tell you what time he was marking you down for a visit. You learned to hide in doorways and then you learned to work the neighbourhood. That's when they put you back in a scout car.

I remember making a pinch and walking the client back to the station or if it was a long way and I'd used up my dimes taking them on the bus.....the job has changed a lot. Last edited by Murf993; 09-24-2021 at 11:03 PM.. |
